What is liteflow AGENTS.md?

A set of instructions for coding agents working on LiteFlow, a Java framework for building business workflows from rules and components.

Use it when compiling LiteFlow, running its full or targeted test suite, inspecting dependencies, or preparing a release build.

It lists the Maven commands and test options needed to build the whole project, one module, one test class, or one test method.

About the project

LiteFlow is a Java rules engine that represents business logic as reusable components arranged through a domain-specific language, with support for synchronous and asynchronous flows, scripting, nested rules, and runtime refreshes. Teams use it to build and change complex business orchestration, and it can also place AI agents directly in those flows. The catalogue add-ons support LiteFlow-related workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02667	$0.02667
Opus 5.5	$0.01067	$0.01067

Security

Grade A, and why

liteflow AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

LiteFlow (v2.16.1) is a lightweight rules engine framework for complex component-based business orchestration. It uses a DSL to drive workflows with support for hot reload and 11 scripting languages. The project targets Java 8+ (up to JDK 25) and has 2000+ test cases.

High-Level Architecture

Core Execution Model

FlowExecutor → Chain → Condition Tree → Node Components

FlowExecutor: Entry point for executing workflows (execute2Resp(chainId, param))
FlowBus: Central metadata registry for all chains and nodes (thread-safe, supports hot reload)
Chain: Named workflow composed of an EL expression that compiles to a Condition tree
Slot/DataBus: Thread-safe context management using slot pooling (configurable slotSize)
NodeComponent: Base class for all business logic components

Key Architectural Patterns

1. Two-Stage Parsing

Chains are built in two phases to handle circular dependencies:

Phase 1: Register chain IDs (creates placeholder chains)
Phase 2: Build complete condition trees with EL parsing

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
